"I solved the problem by doing a full erase of the board by flashing arduplane.
The problem was some of the altitude hold parameters where 0 and thus the mode didn't react to stick inputs. This happened because data was written to early when the…"

Tests
Test1: I removed all the new components to see if induced vibrations could be the problem. 
Test2: The 120A power module(hobbyking) was…"

"Thanks for the reply, yes my throttle is mid-point when I switch modes. Even when I push full throttle after I switched modes it keeps losing altitude, it does not seem to react to the throttle change.And I already changed the mid_thr to 600 but it…"
